Last bike -- '10 Sirrus Comp (a reasonably expensive 'hybrid' in its day) -- came stock with Specialized-branded 28mm road training tires. These lasted about a month or two iirc before becoming excessively puncture-prone. Replaced first with Panaracer Paselas, then Conti GP4000s. No problems with either. Finally discovered Specialized Roubaix Pro in 32mm. Great tires; still using them. Perfect mix of durability, light weight, grip, low rolling resistance, and flat resistance.

New bike -- '19 Sirrus X Comp -- has stock 38mm Specialized Tracer Pro. Essentially, a very good dry-conditions cyclocross tire. These will go ... soon. They're ok on road, but too noisy/draggy for me. On will go a new set of Roubaix Pros (32s), unless I succumb to the temptation to try Conti GP5000s in the 32 width ... hmmm.
